I love the fantasy of building and sending rockets. New gameplay trailer for my game 🚀

I made a mistake of taking away the player's joy of making initial decisions.
At first there were preset buildings. After the fix you start with empty land. Build it up yourself.
Don't take decisions away from the player
It's an interesting concept for working together on your game backstitch.dev in Godot with a Google Docs-like experience (co-work)
If you are taking part in a game jam, give it a try
I like the technical decision to build this as a layer on top of git, not as a replacement, clever!
Asked indie devs how they test their games. What I noted:
- Automated tests for logic, playtesting for fun
- Watch others play with zero instructions
- Community is really helpful for playtesting
- Ask on the web, r/playtesters
Thank you!
The biggest complaint was the lack of a tutorial so I added one to the game. The lesson is just to always add a tutorial / hints so you avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.

Asked devs about todo lists. What I noted:
- One short-term goal like "finish the demo". Todos come from it
- Small daily list, pick a main day goal
- Finish the current task before starting a new one
- Sometimes just do what excites you first!
Thank you!
One of the players built this city and sent me the screenshot. This is the best feedback I could get 🥰

#GMTK 2026 results for my submission. I appreciate the result in the Enjoyment category, it's top ~9% among 10k games. That's my best result so far 🙌
Congratulations to all participants! I received great feedback and played a lot of cool games 👏
Asked how indie devs handle failures. What I noted:
- A failure is a lesson, treat it as data for the next project
- Fail fast and small
- Every project fails until one doesn't. Keep going!
- It's OK that it hurts. Take a break, then come back
Thank you!

Dni Polskich Gier Wideo - nowa inicjatywa promująca Polskę na świecie.
W październiku br. po raz pierwszy odbędą się Dni Polskich Gier Wideo - wydarzenie o charakterze międzynarodowym, w ramach którego polskie studia developerskie będą promować swoje gry na globalnym rynku cyfrowym. To pierwsze wydarzenie promujące branżę gier wideo na taką skalę na świecie i z oficjalnym wsparciem administracji publicznej.
Więcej informacji na stronie:

ALT Na jasnym tle znajduje się logo marki „Polskie Gry Wideo”. Po lewej stronie widoczny jest przestrzenny, geometryczny znak złożony z czerwonych i różowych sześcianów tworzących stylizowaną literę „P”. Po prawej stronie umieszczono czarny napis „POLSKIE GRY WIDEO”, zapisany wielkimi literami w trzech wierszach. Grafika ma prosty, minimalistyczny charakter i pełni funkcję planszy identyfikacji wizualnej inicjatywy „Polskie Gry Wideo”.
In the last project I was testing the gray boxing technique.
It works so well, allowing you to focus first on mechanics instead of fighting the assets. Cool!
Build a star city, send humanity to Mars!
My submission for #GMTK 2026!
